On My Way to the Bath - Tapa dura

"The precocious, emphatic narration... and escalating back-and-forth between Livi and her mother will enliven any read-aloud. There are plenty of books on the shelf covering kids' reluctance to get into the bathtub, but Maizes, making an assured debut, and Paraskevas suggest there's room for one more." - "Publisher's Weekly"""
"[A] delightful debut from Maizes... Paraskevas' lively illustrations have a perfect hint of whimsy infused into their colorful displays. His artwork is reminiscent of David Shannon's in Too Many Toys! (Scholastic, 2008) as he is able to translate the precociousness of childhood into his digitally created art... This is sure to be a crowd-pleaser in story times, classrooms, and laps everywhere. -Lisa Gangemi Kropp, Half Hollow Hills Public Library, Dix Hills, NY, "School Library Journal"

Baths are boring. Everything is more fun than baths. But when Livi's mother hollers "Bathtime!"—a call readers and their parents are all familiar with—Livi's imagination takes her on a journey full of daring obstacles and exciting events. She must battle a snake, rule the world, and escape quicksand, all while her mother waits with the bubbles ready. With delay tactics as creative as this, it's a wonder she ever makes it all the way into the tub. This funny, fresh book will be a must for every parent who wants to foster creativity while dealing with everyday necessities.
